A word of caution concerning the Nelson Mandela love-fest upon his death. While Mandela displayed an admirable spirit of reconciliation after his release from prison and helped end the despicable apartheid of white South Africa, unfortunately Mandela was very friendly to Islamic fundamentalist countries such as Iran and to figures such as Ayatollah Khomeini, the father of the Iranian Revolution, and PLO’s Yasser Arafat, while showing great hostility to Israel. Ofcourse he wasn’t as bad as Desmond Tutu.http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/14199#.UqK96JuA1jq

MADISON, Wis. — Two weeks ago, the liberal Center for Media and Democracy kicked off a national campaign to reveal the identities of anonymous contributors to conservative groups in an effort to unseat the GOP governor here.

Now the group may have to answer embarrassing questions about its own anonymous donors.

A Watchdog.org review of financial documents reveals the Madison-based CMD, which bills itself as a journalism organization, received $520,000 in 2011 from the Schwab Charitable Fund. That’s 60 percent of the $864,740 CMD received that year.

CMD lists no donors on its tax returns, but its website identifies numerous financial backers without any financial data. Several are highlighted in bold and labeled “current donors.” But one important name is missing: Schwab.

What? Obama lied? A few years back he said he had never met Uncle Onyango Obama, who’s now been given legal status leading to a green card after his DUI arrest and ignoring several deportation orders, but now it seems he actually lived with the very same uncle while a college student. People are wondering why President Obama lied about something like this. I think he simply lies to stay in shape. Seriously I think he lied for the same reason he said he didn’t know his Aunt Zeituni was living here: he didn’t want to admit he had relatives who were illegal immigrants. A few years back it would have looked fishy while he pushed for amnesty. Now he just says and does whatever he wants and the MSM continue to pant after him like chasing a dog in heat.

The real disgrace here isn’t that President Obama lied, the real scandal is that his aunt and uncle have been living here illegally and given legal status, even though they had both defied deportation orders and some suspicious character. O had his arrest and only paid taxes some years, Aunt Z has lived on welfare while here, including a taxpayer-paid hip replacement. She said the American public “owed” her welfare and free healthcare. Runs in family. You’ll also be pleased to hear that when he was arrested for the DUI, he warned the cops that he’d call the White House to speak to his nephew. http://sweetness-light.com/archive/obamas-illegal-alien-uncle-is-allowed-to-stay#.UqLEGWeA1jp

Joe Biden continues to perform his job as clown vice-president place holder. White, big union supporter with its attendant base, friendly to big business in credit-card company haven Delaware, often funny, often affable, and seemingly innocuous, Biden is also when needed surly, vindictive, idiotic, inept, and embarrassingly impolitic. He has absolutely no sense of decorum befitting a US vice-president. He blends well with this president. Here, he manages to insult Japanese flight attendants trying to become a symbol for independent women., http://newsbusters.org/blogs/scott-whitlock/2013/12/04/joe-bidens-gaffes-goes-international-all-three-networks-skip

Ah, a perfect time to repost this:

Vice President Joe Biden unleashed another gaffe on Tuesday while talking to female employees at an internet company in Japan. According to the Examiner, Biden was “scheduled to address the company’s female employees” and “discuss the economic impact of women in the corporate world.” Instead, while talking to the women, he blurted, “Do your husbands like you working full time?”
